India started their ICC Women’s World Twenty20 campaign with a thumping win over New Zealand and followed it with a comfortable win over arch-rivals Pakistan. They would want to take momentum into the fixture and make it three wins on the bounce.

Ireland Women, on the other hand, are in a must-win situation. They are reeling at the bottom of the Group B points table, after suffering defeats against Australia Women and Pakistan Women. Another unfavourable result would end their tourney.
